Cleveland Browns general manager Tom Heckert dismissed a report from a Philadelphia sports talk radio host that the team was interested in signing free-agent QB A.J. Feeley (Rams). "A.J. is one of my good friends, but I haven't talked to A.J. in months," Heckert said Sunday, Sept. 2. "I have no idea where that came from. I think we're pretty set (at quarterback). You never say never, but, yeah, we are pretty happy with the position."

St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford (ankle), who hasn't been cleared to practice, is still hoping to return to practice later this week and play in Week 17 against the San Francisco 49ers. "It just hasn't reacted," head coach Steve Spagnuolo said. "We're still optimistic that maybe we can get it there. It's only Wednesday and the game is Sunday." QB Kellen Clemens is taking first-team repetitions in practice with QB A.J. Feeley (thumb) also out.
